Use of ACTIMMUNE in Patients With ADO2

December 11, 2020 updated by: Michael Econs, Indiana University

Phase 2a Study of Interferon Gamma-1b for the Treatment of Autosomal Dominant Type 2 Osteopetrosis

This study is an open label use of ACTIMMUNE for patients with Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis Type 2(ADO2). Effects of treatment will be evaluated after 14 weeks on ACTIMMUNE by bone resorption markers. This study will treat 12 patients with ADO2 recruited from Indiana University and Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, open-label, dose-escalation study evaluating the efficacy, as defined by biochemical endpoints, and safety profiles of ACTIMMUNE in ADO2 subject.

The investigators will treat 12 ADO2 subjects (children or adults age 3-65) with Actimmune® via a dose escalation protocol to a dose of 50 µg/m2 subcutaneously three times per week (TIW) for 8 weeks. If serum CTX does not increase by more than 25% by week 8, the dose will be increased to 100 µg/m2 subcutaneously TIW.

Individual subjects in whom ACTIMMUNE administration increases bone resorption markers during the 14 weeks of this trial will be eligible for a 1 year extension trial.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

3 years to 65 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is diagnosed with clinically significant ADO2 as determined by the investigator.

    Individuals will be screened who have either been diagnosed with osteopetrosis and have a clinical phenotype and/or family history that is consistent with ADO2, have been told that they have an abnormally high bone density (>3SD above mean for age and sex), or a clinical presentation consistent with ADO2. Initial contact will be with members of ADO2 kindreds who have known disease.

  2. Provide written informed consent for competent adults and for minors provide written assent (if appropriate) and written informed consent by a legally authorized representative after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any research-related procedures
  3. Ages 3 to 65 years inclusive.
  4. Willing to use reliable method of contraception [i.e. oral or patch hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, physical barrier methods, tubal ligation or hysterectomy, vasectomy (partner) or abstinence] throughout the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any unstable illness that in the investigator's opinion precludes participation in the study.
  2. Serum calcium >10.6 mg/dl at screening.
  3. eGFR using the MDRD equation in adults (or the modified Schwartz equation for children) of < 35 ml/min/1.73m2.
  4. Nephrocalcinosis on screening ultrasound Grade 3 or higher [18]. Subjects with grade 3 or higher nephrocalcinosis will be excluded because we anticipate that use of study drug will increase bone resorption, resulting in increased urinary calcium excretion, which could, potentially, lead to worsening nephrocalcinosis. The grading scale is listed below:

0 = Normal

  1. = Faint hyperechogenic rim around the sides and tip of the medullary pyramids
  2. = More intense echogenic rim with echoes faintly filling the entire medullary pyramid
  3. = Intense echoes throughout the medullary pyramid
  4. = Solitary focus of echoes at the tip of the medullary pyramid/nephrolithiasis

5. Use of any investigational product (drug or device) within 30 days prior to randomization.

6. Subject reported history of hepatitis C.

7. A recent (past 5 years) history of alcoholism or intravenous drug abuse.

8. History of hypersensitivity to IFN-ɣ or E. coli-derived products.

9. History of liver disease as evidenced by laboratory results at Screening (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] >2x the upper limit of normal), except when in the opinion of the investigator the liver disease is caused by extra medullary hematopoiesis.

10. Pregnant or nursing women or those who plan on becoming pregnant during the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Changes in Bone Resorption Markers From Baseline to 14 Weeks.
Time Frame: baseline, 14 weeks
Evaluate for changes in bone resorption markers including CTX, NTX/creatinine ratio between baseline and 14 weeks
baseline, 14 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
